27th Sunday - Wisemans Ferry -> Wollombi Cruise

[fuzion]

seems to be a lack of organised cruises here (sorry but we know its true lol) :eek::eek:

anyhow, as posted on VWVortex by myself we'll be doing a Wisemans Ferry/Wollombi Run.

Details as follows: Sunday 27th of July

Meeting Point: Euro Automotive - 16a Amax Ave, Girraween (Sebs Workshop) at 1130am. If you wish to come earlier feel free as the BBQ might be going for a bite to eat. If your running plate just call and meet near w-ferry turn off no worries.

Driving to Wisemans Ferry across over on the Car Ferry through Wisemans Ferry Rd up to Central Mangrove, where we will go left and head towards Wollombi where we can grab a bite to eat/drinks @ the Pub/Eateries there.

All welcome to come, its always a good drive that with nice twists and some nice straights too. :driver::driver:

[Golf Houso]

How long is the drive each way?

[DubSteve]

These are the type of drives you want to go on!!! I would love to come dude but I'll be in Germany:)

Bit of a late inclusion, but my VR needs to socialise... :biggrin:

[bboyskidz]

what time do you reckon you'll be at Wisemans?

[Golf Loon]

Pity about the meeting point.
Seems a shame to dillute the non commercial ideal of this forum by meeting at a workshop.
Have fun, I`ll see you at the next one.

[goodfella]

What a SWEEEEEET day!

See you guys soon...

[fuzion]

instead we can promote "having a few" would be better hey? ....

we met there as it wasnt a "maccas car park" or "kk car park" .. its hidden away, easy to find meeting point from everyone in every direction coming and no body had any complaints about it :P

on a nicer note, great turn out guys.. pitty about the late leave due to ppl running a tad late and that pretty full on acco on cumberland hwy.. never the less minus wollombi we got to do the wisemans ferry run and have a blast.. heres a couple pics from the day.. also great to combine box tex and vww guys together!

the rain didn't slow anybody down! lol

[Treza360]

Do R32s not exist down there in Sydney? Dissapointing not see any in the pics so far.
Pierre and Neil, your GTIs are some of the hottest watercooled VWs dubbing about Australia at the moment in my opinion. Looking sweet as. :biggrin:

[Golf Loon]

The Australian way mate ;)

You seem to have ignored my point.
And slipped even further in my estimation.

Glad the rest of you had fun guys.

[fuzion]

Woah... That "Sexy R" is a damn sexy looking R. :eek:
Anymore info on this beast?

pm aussie jimmy on the tex, hes a fair bit of work. seb recently fitted new cams, extractors, port work, head work, etc.. theres not much left minus blower/turbo i think lol.. eip exhaust as well. its pretty toit!

as for the ppl who missed out, i shall be doing another long run soon and will keep all posted.

[99gti]

It was a great run considering the weather wasn't being favorable towards us. It was a slow start to the day which was a good thing because I was rather hung over but that was quickly solved by a greasy burger at Wisemans. Most memorable moments would have had to have been the caddy creeping its way towards the front of the pack as we wound our way around the hills.

It was great to meet some new peoples and also to catch up with the regulars. Thanks again for a tops day.

[MissVuks]

Mischa I'm up for one in late september, my bday is around late september..

:toast::grouphug::clap:

Looks like there was a good turn out today - nice pics too! Did anyone else manage to take some pics of the cars?

[rayray086]

Oi, where's all the mk3's! I see one black one with some porn wheels and that's it... :(

Haha looks like it's Aydan in his diesel!

[malteser]

Oi, where's all the mk3's! I see one black one with some porn wheels and that's it... :(

Don't worry Mickey, I was there representing the mk3's as well, but I was disappointed there were no other VR's. I thought I might have company, but that idea went in a plume of dirty black smoke. I think I had the largest cylinderage there. :)

What a great day, and even in the wet it was an excellent drive even though I had to part earlier (damn work :duh:). By the way, who was in the caddy, he was demolishing everyone! :biggrin:

Hope to see everyone again real soon...

Hey, we were still a mk3 - and if you calculate 1.9L x 1.5bar = 2.85L.... so not so different from yours ;-).


By the way, who was in the caddy, he was demolishing everyone! :biggrin:

Hope to see everyone again real soon...

Mark

Myself, Niel and Chris (in the red diesel caddy) were all chatting outside the lunch shop at wisemans for ages -

maybe we need forum name nametags for these events like at the 'nats?

great day, had fun. Megan, my gf - said this, as we were going up the hill towards central mangrove:

"Man, whats with this speed? I thought we would be going FAST! This is boring."

HAHAHA! I guess you can't please everyone. and no diesel jokes either, I was with you guys all the way :-)

[bboyskidz]

Bummed I didn't go now :( I was keen to show off my new tint :duh:

I woke up at 11. don't think i wouldve made it. next cruise I think i'll have to meet up with gldgti before I leave my comfort zone (the coast) lol.

I did end up retrimming some of my interior though... :biggrin:

Aaand back on topic now - did anyone else get any more pics?:driver:

[99gti]

Please keep this on topic guys. If there are issues please forward on your concerns and we can discuss.
